In a notable shift within the British monarchy, King Charles III has made a significant gesture towards his brother, Prince Andrew, by including him in the royal family’s Easter service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. This marks a departure from the Duke of York’s previous exclusion from public royal duties.
Prince Andrew, accompanied by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, attended the Easter Sunday service alongside other senior royals, including King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Despite stepping back from royal duties in 2019 following allegations of sexual misconduct, Andrew’s presence at this family event indicates a potential softening of his status within the family.
Royal expert Phil Dampier suggests that King Charles still maintains a strong familial bond with his brother and is keen to offer him a chance for reintegration. Dampier notes, “It was very much a show of family unity”.
“He’s not totally out in the cold, but I think it’s too early to say it’s any kind of comeback for him.”
Absence of Prince William and Kate Middleton
Notably absent from the Easter service were Prince William and Kate Middleton, who chose to spend the holiday with Kate’s parents in Norfolk. Their decision to forgo the traditional family gathering has sparked discussions about the evolving dynamics within the royal family.
Some observers speculate that their absence may be a subtle distancing from Prince Andrew, reflecting a shift in royal engagements and public appearances.
“It is absolutely true to say that William is one of the driving forces behind making sure there’s no future for the Duke of York,” said Dampier.
“He doesn’t believe he can make a comeback, and there is, I’m told, quite a lot of friction between them. It made it a lot easier, I think, for Andrew that William wasn’t there.”
As King Charles continues to navigate his health challenges, including his recent cancer diagnosis, his actions towards Prince Andrew may signal a broader strategy of family cohesion. While Andrew’s return to official royal duties remains uncertain, his inclusion in family events suggests a potential path towards reconciliation and a redefined role within the royal fold.
The evolving relationships within the royal family continue to capture public attention, with each gesture and decision offering insight into the monarchy’s future direction.

USATSI The Las Vegas Raiders offensive makeover is coming into its final form. After trading for Geno Smith and drafting Aston Jeanty the team drafted Jack Bech 55th overall. We expect Harris will quickly take over the WR2 role behind Jakobi Meyers, and there is an outside shot he could be the team's WR1 as a rookie. That means a little something different in Las Vegas because Brock Bowers is the team's top target.As a 19-year-old Bech led LSU in receptions (43) on a team with Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas.

Nick Saban says missing on this NFL Draft pick was ‘the biggest recruiting mistake’ he ever made at Alabama
Getty Images Nick Saban was the architect of one of the greatest dynasties in college football history during his time at Alabama, winning six national championships from 2007-2023. He recruited and developed some of the best football players of this generation, players like Julio Jones, Derrick Henry and Amari Cooper. However, there is one player he was unable to bring to Tuscaloosa he still thinks about. That player was tight end Mason Taylor, who decided to sign with the rival LSU Tigers after playing his high school football at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
